Club holidays

Club holidays - where you stay in a private beachside resort and eat most of your meals in the club restaurants - are an excellent option for parents who want to lie on the beach while their children exhaust themselves.

But note that while the children will make new friends, you will probably have to do the same, sharing tables with other parents during evening meals, for example.

Club holidays are based mainly around watersports, but activities such as tennis and mountain biking are often available as well.

Some of these holidays are not cheap, however - you could pay £4,000 to £5,000 for a family of four for two weeks in high season.

But most activities are normally included in the price (check before booking).
